A picture frame or photo frame including an extruded L-shaped plastic strip which is notched and bent into a rectangular configuration, a picture frame glass being secured therein, preferably by a double-sided adhesive tape material, and a back plate being removably snapped therein in a locked position against a picture disposed on an inner surface of the picture frame glass. Preferably, ribs are provided on the frame portions to facilitate the snapping in and the holding of the back plate in place, and additional ribs can also be used to secure the picture frame glass therein. The plastic strip can encapsulate a metal strip therein to provide the plastic strip with a particular decorative appearance.
